suns along the Mohawk

An article in Thursday’s Gazette titled “Rose Garden Pond fixed up, tour scheduled” (July 31, 2014, at C2) motivated me to make my annual Rose Garden photoshoot yesterday (Saturday).   The article explained:

  “The original pond was stagnant and built from concrete, which weathered over time and developed cracks. Decker’s Landscaping and Aquatics remodeled the pond, creating a small waterfall and creek to run under the 46-year-old bridge.”

When I got there with my photo mentor Yu Chang, a bridal group was gathered on the bridge.  The remodeled pond looked great, the roses were in great shape in the Garden, and the sun came out to illuminate leaves and draw intriguing shadows under the trees.
